Dave’s Reply:
Thanks for your electrical question.
The Following links will assist you with your electrical question:
Hi Cathy – Burying an extension cord is not permissible. Installing a Direct Burial cable 24 inches deep and providing protection and a GFCI device is. Another option is installing a pvc conduit 18 inches deep and providing GFCI protection, outlet and weather proof cover. These are just the basics.
